The pickups are Gus’ signature Seymour Duncan Blackouts, which pair low-output passive humbuckers with an active preamp mounted to a volume pot, giving you all the benefits of active performance but with a little more earthy a tone.Īs for the JS Series, it has a poplar body with a bolt-on maple neck and a 12”-16” compound radius fingerboard which gets flatter as you approach the higher frets and more rounded as you get towards the nut. It’s kinda cool that after all these years, those sharkfins are just as iconic as they were in the 80’s. The fretboard radius is a Gibson-style 12” (not as flat as many shredsticks, not as round as a vintage Strat), and there are 24 jumbo frets with pearloid sharkfin inlays. It has a one-piece maple neck-through construction with mahogany body wings, and the neck is stabilised with a pair of graphite reinforcement rods and a scarf joint. In fact, from a distance it can be hard to tell them apart. Of the two guitars, the X Series is the closest to the USA Custom Shop version.
